Book excerpt: Professor Lewis is to be congratulated upon being among the first economists to tackle the tricky subject of controlling the nationalised industries."Financial Times This book analyses some of the difficulties of costing and price formation that arise out of the existence of overhead costs in nationalised industry. Issues such as the law relating to monopoly and the accountability of public enterprise are considered, along with complex questions such as price formation and the problem of policy in public corporations.

Download or read book Overhead Costs as a Strategic Factor in Fluctuations in Economic Activity written by Robert L. Hill and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of overhead cost has as yet not found an adequate place in business cycle research, in spite of the fact that Professor J.M. Clark has opened the avenue twenty-eight years ago. This study makes a modest attempt to fill the gap by showing the relationship of the problem of overhead costs to fundamental issues of business cycle theory. While Professor Clark is interested primarily in the influence of demand upon expansion of capacities, the emphasis in this analysis is upon the impaceof production and particularly innovations upon the structure of overhead costs. The approach is theoretically not statistically, oriented. The increase in the relative share of overhead costs in total costs as well as their absolute growth has contributed greatly to the rigidity of the cost structure of modern industry and has increased the sensitivity of firms to fluctuations in sales upon which the utilization of capacity depends. This study attempts a systematic analysis of the effect of this situation. The analysis is carried out under a double aspect: with regard, first, to an individual firm; and second, to the economy as a whole. In such a way it might be shown that also in this restricted field of economic research the problems cannot be adequately stated, much less solved, without combining these two aspects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the corporate organizational structure of a typical electric utility firm, its interdepartmental functional relationships, and, specifically, the functional areas. The study focuses on how the corporate structure of an investor-owned utility is incorporated into the supply function for electricity within the context of its regulatory constraint. The study is based on the analysis of organizational structure and empirical studies of some selected generating electric utility companies. Growing interest by the public and regulatory bodies in the areas of utility management efficiency, and in the correctness of an allocation methodology of fixed overhead cost components is the main reason for such a study. The scope of the study is limited exclusively to the allocation of the components of fixed overhead cost. Case studies of several electric utilities are included, utilizing time series data (1961-1984) compiled from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission-Form 1, and the U.S. Department of Energy, Statistical Reports for class A & B. Chapter I provides a general introduction and the scope of the study. Chapter II comprises three sections. Section 1 presents a conceptual model of a corporate organizational structure. Section 2 describes a theoretical cost model of an electric utility supply system. Section 3 reviews the corporate organizational structure of modern electric utility firms as reported by various management audit surveys. Chapter III presents a critical review of the economic overhead cost concepts for electric firms and alternative models used to allocate overhead fixed costs to customer classes or jurisdictions. Chapter VI proposes a cost refunctionalization models for economic overhead costs. Chapter V reports the results and conclusion of an empirical analysis applied to the various functional cost allocation models. The study reveals that there is no single dominant exogenous variable that can be selected as the "best" solid allocation basis for any of the various components of fixed overhead costs. The disaggregation of cost to the lowest accounting level is found to be more desirable in refunctionalizing and/or allocating fixed overhead costs.

Download or read book Production Economics written by Anoop Desai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves a unique purpose within the world of engineering. It covers the economics of modern manufacturing and focuses on examining the techniques and methods from a cost perspective. It can be used by both students and professionals alike. The book is useful to students in industrial engineering and mechanical engineering programs as a primary textbook for engineering economy, production costing, and related courses. It can also be used by MBA students specializing in production management and finance. Specific topics of coverage include the computation of direct and indirect cost for manufacturing operations, including a variety of overhead operations in such an environment. Costing of manufacturing methods such as casting, forging, turning, milling, and welding is addressed along with inventory analysis. The book also includes fundamental concepts such as cash flow analysis, present and future worth analysis, and rate of return analysis. Related topics such as equipment replacement, comparison of alternatives, depreciation, buy versus make decisions, interest factors, and equivalence are covered in detail as well. Key Features: Addresses the costing of manufacturing operations through a step-by-step problem solving approach. Includes traditional engineering topics such as cash flow analysis, present worth, future worth analysis, replacement analysis, equivalence, and depreciation are addressed in depth as well. Offers a variety of solved examples that can be used to develop a thorough understanding of the underlying concept. Provides a number of practice problems at the end of each chapter. Presents a large number of figures and tables in almost every chapter, to assist in visualizing the concept and apply it successfully. Production Economics: Evaluating Costs of Operations in Manufacturing and Service Industries focuses on rigorous problem solving. Each topic is presented succinctly along with numerous solved examples, along with a large number of end-of-chapter practice problems where applicable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board in the late 1970s, Alfred E. Kahn presided over the deregulation of the airlines and his book, published earlier in that decade, presented the first comprehensive integration of the economic theory and institutional practice of economic regulation. In his lengthy new introduction to this edition Kahn surveys and analyzes the deregulation revolution that has not only swept the airlines but has transformed American public utilities and private industries generally over the past seventeen years. While attitudes toward regulation have changed several times in the intervening years and government regulation has waxed and waned, the question of whether to regulate more or to regulate less is a topic of constant debate, one that The Economics of Regulation addresses incisively. It clearly remains the standard work in the field, a starting point and reference tool for anyone working in regulation.Kahn points out that while dramatic changes have come about in the structurally competitive industries - the airlines, trucking, stock exchange brokerage services, railroads, buses, cable television, oil and natural gas - the consensus about the desirability and necessity for regulated monopoly in public utilities has likewise been dissolving, under the burdens of inflation, fuel crises, and the traumatic experience with nuclear plants. Kahn reviews and assesses the changes in both areas: he is particularly frank in his appraisal of the effect of deregulation on the airlines. His conclusion today mirrors that of his original, seminal work - that different industries need different mixes of institutional arrangements that cannot be decided on the basis of ideology.
